Common Questions
What if I only need one Premium feature (like the Handbook Builder)?
- Premium is sold as a complete package—individual features are not available separately. However, at $15/month + $2 per employee, most organizations find the full suite valuable once they start using it.
Can I upgrade later?
- Absolutely. Many organizations start with Compliance Free to explore the HR Assessment and Compliance Library, then upgrade to Premium or Ultimate as their needs grow.
